Stuff to know
Do not overcook the fish.
Choose a fish of your liking: salmon, trout, haddock, plaice, etc.
It is important that the vegetables are cut in thin strips or they won’t cook through in the oven.
Make sure the parcels are really airtight or they won’t puff up.
Add some olives or sundried tomatoes.
